.... life. Is it our right to bear arms as North Americans? Or is it privilege? And what are the benefits of having strict gun control laws? Through the analysis of the writings and reports of academics and experts of gun control and urban violence, it will be possible to examine the issues and theories of the social impact of this issue. Part II: Review of the Literature A) Summary In a paper which looked at gun control and firearms violence in North America, Robert J. Mundt, of the University of North Carolina, points out that "Crime in America is popularly perceived [in Canada] as som .....

.... cellular system know who is calling, and where they are? When a mobile phone enters a cell's area of transmission, it transmits its phone number and its 8 digit ID number to that cell, who will keep track of it until it gets far enough away that the sound quality is sufficiently diminished, and then the phone is "handed off" to the cell that the customer has walked or driven into. This process continues as long as the phone has power and is turned on. If the phone is turned off (or the car is), someone attempting to call the mobile phone will receive a recording along the lines of "The mo .....

.... Amendment states "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." This was meant to limit the severity of punishment imposed on an offender by judge or jury, but instead it creates a paradox with its usage of the words 'cruel' and 'punishment.' Webster's dictionary defines cruel as "causing, or of a kind to cause pain, distress, etc." Using this definition, one has to wonder how our justice system is suppose to punish criminals at all. Wouldn't every punishment be cruel if we took the criminal's point of view? Obviously .....

.... insists on retaining sovereignty over the “eternal” city and hopes a deal will win world recognition of that right. Palestinians, on the other hand, wish to reclaim east Jerusalem for the capital of a new Palestinian state and want to share sovereignty. This issue should be resolved by making Jerusalem ‘no man’s land’. Jerusalem should be governed by an independent, neutral third party. Palestinians and Israelis would share it, as neither party would have control. If the Christians can share it with the Jews and Arabs, why can’t the Jews and Arabs share with each other? The c .....

.... government. The Stuart kings of England believed in their divine right to rule. Criticism, however, and distrust from the House of Commons, kept the Stuart monarchs from absolute power. Throughout the seventeenth century parliament and the monarch fought for control of England. Socially, an absolute monarch had to have control over all classes in his kingdom. This included all religious views. In France, Louis XIV first respected Protestant religions, but in 1685 revoked the Edict of Nantes, which created a country of Roman Catholic belief. He believed in on king, one law, and one f .....

.... of life. They focus on topics such as children, the workplace, everyday life and sometimes have interviews with respectable celebrities. You can catch shows with titles such as “Teaching Your Children Responsibly”, or “How to Manage Your Work Week”. These shows actually educate people and teach the child right from wrong. They also have shows exposing things such as child or spousal abuse and make people aware of these dangers. People even feel a special attachment to their favorite talk show hosts and talk about them as if they know them. Even the so - called “trash talk shows� .....

.... got the leftovers" according to a 1989 Canadian Government report, South Africa has changed in just a few years... the first election to allow all citizens to vote for a new government and a new system came took place only in 1994, after decades of racial injustice. That first free, all-race election chose a black man, Nelson Manila, elected President of South Africa... after he spent 26 years in jail, for opposing the 'apartheid' of the former white supremacist government. South Africa's reform came very slowly and painfully, after many years of widespread injustice, racial discriminatio .....

.... what he wants. He was willing to risk his whole nation for a more money. High financial priorities? Survey says “yes” . The basis on which Hussein is in power is controversial. He was not elected to his position, he took it. There was a military coup in 1968 that led him and his Ba'ath party to power. He was not elected, as until last year, there had not been an election since the coup (Cooperman 49). This says that Hussein has been a tyrant from the start, and his need for power is incredible. He wants complete domination of the Middle East, if not the world. Iraq is now a co .....

.... by lethal injection. Debbie Morris found no peace in Willies death. “Justice didn’t do anything to heal me. Forgiveness did.” (“Dad Man Walking: The Victim Who Survived” Debbie Morris and Gregg Lewis) A death of a criminal will not erase the past or make a victim’s life complete. Another negative of is the high cost. Many dollars are spent during the legal cases and for things such as providing witnesses. Many people who are for the death penalty believe it costs more money to house a criminal in jail. That is wrong, if we can abolish the luxuries many inmates have, the cost is .....

.... a licensing law which required sellers to obtain a license if they were going to handle opiates or cocaine. The law contains a provision that nothing in the law would prohibit doctors from prescribing these drugs in the legitimate practice of medicine. The people who wrote the Harrison Act and Marijuana Tax Act in 1937, agreed that a prohibition on what people could put into their bodies was an unconstitutional infringement on personal liberties. Marijuana was outlaw .....
